Having some drosera capensis sundews sitting around also help combat the soil gnats.

I called Nationwide and got a quote. About $18/month or $180/yearly. $250 deductible then 70% covered up to $10,000 per year.

Does anyone else have a problome with gnats? Theyre all in my cage and im worried they will hurt him. I cant seem to find anything safe for my boy to get rid of them. Some said to let soil dry for a couple of days, but his mister goes off twice a day. And the bottom of his cage has enough plants...

I’ll have to get some more sundews. The ones I had never were able to rebound after the cat tried to eat them and knocked them out of their pots.

So I was able to order the Repashy LoD that will be delivered today. I can't find the Repashy NoD without shipping taking until the beginning of February. Any recommendations? A lot of the sites also want $9-10 dollars to ship it. I will look into the drip tray. My cage is this one...

That is wild haha I just bought some mosquito bits and if things get bad I’ll get the drosera capensis but again I only have a couple flying around since it’s so new. The old enclosure had a lot more from the potted plants.

...formulation (like Repashy Bug Burger) is much better. I have similar issues, but with ants. :rolleyes: Although just this morning I found soil gnats/fruit flies in my bug bins. Thru use of bait products, I’ve been able to eliminate the larger ants, but the teeny tiny ones are resistant to it...

I have a whitefly outbreak in one of my vivs and cant wait for my mantid army to knock them out!

Yes, they eat fruit flies and pinhead crickets until they grow big enough for other bugs. Right now I hope they are getting their fill of soil gnats and their larva.

...in a large cricket keeper and kept them very well fed, so any cannibalism was at a minimum…I think. I was thinking of letting them hatch out in my chameleon enclosures, but that might result in my little hunters chowing down on all of them in one bite and no soil gnats being eradicated. :unsure:

i forgot to ask you, but when you had your mantis’s in the chameleon cage, did you ever see your cham eating them? or were they too tiny to see

...be a concern. It’s a great question though. I hatched out several ootheca in the past without any issues and since I’m currently battling soil gnats again, think I’ll be getting some more ooths to hatch out. I was going to try mosquito bits, but mantids not only helps the gnat problem but...

That’s something I’ll try, if i can find them cheap, here in uk mantis are pets and not feeders so can pay $15 for one 😅. Cleanup crew get fed leaf litter, veg scraps, and isopod powdered food, they are thriving tbh, I had troubles at the start with them keeping up, but they’ve bred a lot and...

I’ve never had such a problem with soil gnats like I do now. It’s crazy. The cursed things are all over. I have a big bag of mosquito bits as back up if the mantids can’t kill them all.

...chameleons who are able to hunt them. While I don’t do it every year, I get mantis ooths to hatch out in my enclosures (helps control the soil gnats) which my chameleons have enjoyed hunting down. This is the time of year the ooths are available if that is something you might want to do. I...

...I have Mosquito Bits. I am not sure if it will kill of my clean up crew, so I am hesitating using it in my enclosures. I have used it in my back up potted plants and had an almost immediate reduction in flying pests. It is supposed to kill only mosquitos and soil gnats and not beneficial insects.

I honestly can not really see them well enough to tell anything. You can get soil gnats in cages but these are harmless to chams. Depending on what you used for your cage set up you can bring in tiny mites from the trees. Most only go after the wood in the cage and die off because they do not...

My first ooth hatched today so cute little mantids. I feel bad to put them in one of the chameleon enclosures, but these dratted soil gnats are about to drive me insane. I put them in with Lucky, who doesn’t shoot his tongue out more than a few inches, so they have a decent chance to survive a...

I’m so over these soil gnats! They are everywhere, including flying into my mouth! 🤢 Tonight I made the rounds with mosquito bits tea and can only say a little prayer for the isopods and springtails. 🙏 I got started on it late, so my crew was all in their pj’s and tucked into their sweet...
